Note 1—Organization and Business

Physicians Realty Trust (the “Trust”) was organized in the state of Maryland on April 9, 2013. As of June 30, 2014, the Trust was authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share. The Trust filed a Registration Statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) with respect to a proposed underwritten initial public offering (the “IPO”) and completed the IPO of its common shares and commenced operations on July 24, 2013.

The Trust contributed the net proceeds from the IPO to Physicians Realty L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership, and is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Trust’s operations are conducted through the Operating Partnership and wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Trust, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, controls the Operating Partnership and consolidates the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Operating Partnership.

The Trust is a self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) formed primarily to acquire, selectively develop, own and manage healthcare properties that are leased to physicians, hospitals and healthcare delivery systems.

Initial Public Offering and Formation Transactions and Follow-On Public Offerings

Pursuant to the IPO, the Trust issued an aggregate of 11,753,597 common shares, including common shares issued upon exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, and received approximately $123.8 million of net proceeds.  The Trust contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 11,753,597 common units of partnership interest (“OP Units”).  Concurrently with the completion of the IPO, the Trust acquired, through a series of contribution transactions, the entities that own the 19 properties that comprised the Trust’s initial properties from four healthcare real estate funds (the “Ziegler Funds”), as well as certain operating assets and liabilities, including the assumption of approximately $84.3 million of debt related to such properties. The Trust determined that the Ziegler Funds constitute the Trust’s accounting predecessor (the “Predecessor”). The Predecessor, which is not a legal entity, is comprised of the four Ziegler Funds that owned directly or indirectly interests in entities that owned the initial 19 properties in the Trust’s portfolio. The combined historical data for the Predecessor is not necessarily indicative of the Trust’s future financial position or results of operations. In addition, at the completion of the IPO, the Trust entered into a shared services agreement with B.C. Ziegler & Company (“Ziegler”) pursuant to which Ziegler provides office space, IT support, accounting support and other services to the Trust in exchange for an annual fee.

To acquire the ownership interests in the entities that own the 19 properties included in the Trust’s initial properties, and certain other operating assets and liabilities, from the Ziegler Funds, the Operating Partnership issued to the Ziegler Funds an aggregate of 2,744,000 OP Units, having an aggregate value of approximately $31.6 million based on the price to the public per share in the IPO. These formation transactions were effected concurrently with the completion of the IPO.

The net proceeds from the IPO, inclusive of shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, were approximately $123.8 million (after deducting the underwriting discount and expenses of the IPO and the formation transactions payable by the Trust). The Trust contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 11,753,597 OP Units on July 24, 2013, and upon closing of the IPO, the Trust owned a 79.6% interest in the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership used a portion of the IPO proceeds received from the Trust to purchase the 50% interest in the Arrowhead Commons property not owned by the Ziegler Funds for approximately $850,000, after which the Operating Partnership became the 100% owner of the property, and to pay certain expenses related to debt assumptions and the Trust’s senior secured revolving credit facility. The balance of the net proceeds was subsequently invested in healthcare properties.

On December 11, 2013, the Trust completed a public offering of 9,545,000 common shares of beneficial interest, including 1,245,000 shares issued upon exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, resulting in net proceeds to the Trust of approximately $103.1 million. The Trust contributed the net proceeds of this offering to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 9,545,000 OP Units, and the Operating Partnership used the net proceeds of the public offering to repay borrowings under the Trust’s senior secured revolving credit facility and for general corporate and working capital purposes, funding future acquisitions, including any pending acquisitions, and development activities.

On May 27, 2014, the Trust completed a public offering of 12,650,000 common shares of beneficial interest, including 1,650,000 shares issued upon exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, resulting in net proceeds to the Trust of approximately $149.9 million. The Trust contributed the net proceeds of this offering to the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP Units, and the Operating Partnership used the net proceeds of the public offering to repay borrowings under the Trust’s senior secured revolving credit facility and for general corporate and working capital purposes, funding future acquisitions, including any pending acquisitions, and development activities.

Because the IPO and the formation transactions were completed on July 24, 2013, the Trust had no operations prior to that date.  References in these notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements of Physicians Realty Trust signify the Trust for the period from July 24, 2013, the date of completion of the IPO and the formation transactions, and of the Predecessor for all prior periods.
